Kayden
The beautiful Sapphire ring on my finger was real. The overwhelming love coming from every single direction was real.
Rhys pressed a soft, tender kiss to the top of my head, his large hand rubbing slow, soothing circles on my back. "Breathe, baby," he whispered gently against my hair. "I've got you."
I pulled back just enough to look up at him, my vision blurry from happy tears but my heart fuller than it had ever been in my entire life. "This is really happening," I said, my voice shaking with pure wonder. "You really did all this for me."
"For us," he corrected softly, brushing a tear from my cheek with his thumb, his eyes full of so much love it made my knees weak all over again. "Always for us. And don't cry anymore, Kayden. Our future just started, and I will always be with you forever."
